Axe Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Jonno i'm using a Casio Exilim EX-s880 they are brand new out and take some great pics. They have all the gizmo's built in, face recognition, filters, best shot, anti jog, etc and also take good Quality video that you can load direct from the camera straight to You Tube. All the pics I put up recently have been taken with it. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...st&p=398004 http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=43609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migster Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I recently bought a Canon IXUS 900 Ti, for a small compact its the beezs neezs, it has a titanium casing and as like most of these modern digitals theres not much that they cant do. I used to lug around the old canon F1 ( BLOODY HEAVY} now i just slip the digital in my top pocket. The trouble is that there are so many on the market, and all pretty simular it can be quite dificult to get what you want. Anyway i plumbed the 900Ti. Some info on it here. http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Fi...00_Ti/index.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Jonno, there is a cracking one for sale on the BBS for £100 Try Here - http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233311 if i wasn't saving for my new 223, i'd have it in a heartbeat That is a good camera and not too technical either, I have the older powershot A80 and it cost 2x that much just a few years ago. I hope to upgrade to the canon EOS 40D soon, and can`t fault the canons at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Harry Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Not what your after but it's worth considering a DSLR. I think they are better to use. No time delay when you press the button and thats what really ****** me off with my compact. I have a Nikon D50 and you can get them for about £250 now. I paid £400. Pictures are really good. Dont get sucked into the trap that a lot do thinking that the the more pixels the better the camera. SLR's are bigger but if you can cope with that it's wirth getting one.

ph5172 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 http://www.which.co.uk/reports_and_campaig...rders/index.jsp They have a 30 day free trial for £1 may be woth a try And all i can say is that a whila ago i bought a cheapish 5mp camera to use skiing but in the end went back to my 3mp Cannon as it took better pics, so more pixels doesnt mean better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushkin Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I recently bought this camera http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fuji-FinePix-Digit...2168&sr=8-1 the model is about a year old now and is 6.5 mp. As someone who used to do a lot of photography with an SLR camera, I wanted to still be in control of things like aperture and depth of field etc. This camera allows you to do so - or just leave the camera to do it for you. It isn't a compact - nor is it a full Digital SLR - but it is in the ground between both. I've not taken an awful lot of pictures with it yet but I'm well pleased with the results. If I can work out how to post them - I'll put up some pictures so you can judge for yourself. Very good price at the moment £150 ish - considering when it first came out it was well into the double hundreds. Pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkin Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Couldn;t get it to post here - but did manage on the picture forum. Can't work out how to post the link to the forum though. Tried using the Insert Post Link - but it didn't work hmmmmmph. Pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
